No more third party checkout.

It's going to be a while before they take it away. At first they wanted it quick but then once they figured out they had to replicate all the things 3rd parties do to enhance checkout they revised their date to almost a year later, lol.

To answer your question though, yes, you can still purchase shipping insurance. We can even still do it for you automatically. We already do this for sellers that do not use our checkout. We can tell if a buyer that used a sellers eBay checkout opted to purchase insurance and automatically purchase it.

I am a prostore owner, I heard about this as well. ebay is not taking away third party checkout immediately, it allows the timeframe of one year. one of the reason is that they probably don't want to lose customers when buyers buy it directly from online store later as most sellers have the strategy to bring customers to their own stores due to unreasonable ebay fees (it is good for ebay of course).

for the auctiva insurance, I believe this is not taken away. the ebay platform api still support optional insurances by third party. the insurance still works but the interface will be changed a little bit.

I hope this helps.

I used auctivas checkout way back when I started but quickly got rid of it. It seemed to confusing for the buyer. I to dont like when I buy a item having to go through a 3rd party checkout. Ebays system seems the easiest and personally safest. I do use auctivas insurance and have since day one.
All you have to do is go to your account check mark insurance. Find the listing you sold under sales. Add insurance and go back to account and unclick insurance.

For multiple auctions won by same bidder you will have to file a support case and they will combine for you and purchase the insurance for you
